Mr. Coastermania

i miss year round parks.knotts berry was the best when i was growing.

It's almost 2011 and before you know it,opening day.What big goals do you have for 2011? My goal is going to be to ride The Beast 500 times this season.Try to keep my weight down and to meet up with more friends at the park this year. Hurry up april.

Im sure they have cameras and motion detectors as well as guard dogs near by.Im also sure the haunted souls that are lurking after hours might be happy to eat a few unlucky over nighters.

for MF hit up the yellow train and sit near the front.I found this works much better since the yellow trin has the older seat belts.TTD,again up near the front.Good luck.

I cant wait to ride this one.Im sure all the legal stuff has been covered or the park would'nt open it up before saturday.

So many great rides,so many spread to far apart.but worth the walk.It will be busy so just try to enjoy yourself.

sorry about the bad luck.weather is a bit crazy this year.I know they say try to come when there is rain and the crowds tend to be lighter but that is not always true.This is just a stat and people can do anything on any given day or time.It's just a chance we all take when heading over on a wet day.

You would think that theme parks with some history would be protected unless there are some that are. Like the nu pike back in long beach calf that closed in 1979.It has some history with it come good or bad.The cyclone racer was a big draw at the pike.It was right on the beach.The double ferris wheel.Laff in the dark fun house that later on was found to have a real dead person in it.The rotor was pretty good back then as well as the house of glass.I know it would never be the same, but i wish they would rebuild it and bring back some of the things that made it nice.Rip pike.I still love knotts and magic mountain.hope we never lose them.

does the online store sell them light show glasses?they are neat and i would like to buy some extra for the kids.

just give it a try.

First thing we are doing is putting Scooby back in. I would add a flashback area.adding old favorites from the past.

I would buy it up and sell shares to kic members.

Oh yes them typos hurt.I meant only 2 were running at one point.Im sure the ride ops are like hey train number 4 never came back.Maybe one of the Son of Beast trains came over to visit being fathers day is coming up soon.lol.

He hijacked a Klingon Bird-of-Prey and slingshot around the sun. He had to go back in time and watch himself go through the park again. That's what happens when you ride Vortex twice in a row. He posted at 2:25 this morning, so it was 6/9 when he was writing. Correct, the the trip took place 06/08/10, but i did not finish the post until 06/09/10 early this morning. I do apologize for the confusion. I had a long day, but it was a blast! I will make sure the posting dates and trip dates are displayed properly, this was my first TR. I stayed up for a while to write it before I forgot all of the major details of the events that took place. Great trip report.Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for sharing with us.

Good trip rereport.Keep up the work on the weight loss.Not only is losing weight healthier for,but the biggest reward of all is being able just to walk on and ride whatever you want.I have been there and now im able to ride them all.Good luck to you pal.

I was on The Beast on we were stuck just before you get to the plattform.We were stuck there for about 10 to 15 mins.The ride came out and told us that they were working on it and they would get us back in asap.we had a total of 2 out 3 trains stuck.My next ride once they reopened they only had 2 trains going.

Hey enjoy your trip.Try to get your front seat rides early then as it gets later stay away from up front.Be sure to catch the light show after dark.

Seems sunday the dragster was having a few problems.Im thinking it was the brakes that get stuck and wont reset.does anybody else know what else happened?Oh and great job to the ride op for keeping the guest entertained except for the one loud mouth who kept screaming to push the button already. One other problem not ride related and my prayers are with her.Monday night a lady had some kind of attack and had us riders on the dragster really worried about her.Great job of the park and that helper to get her aid so quickly.Im not sure if she was riding the ride before or if the flashing cameras got to her.Again my prayers are with her.

As of tuesday the 25th,shoot the rapids is doing test runs and i must say it looks good.I tried some of the water cannons you put coins in to get riders wet and it looks good.It looks like saturday will be the rides opening day.

do you mean 220 lbs?It would seem if you was 120 lbs,it would have been no problem.So if i get in the front train front seat area i should be ok?

So is it only top thrill and mil force that has the new seat belts?Im hoping i'll be ok this year.im 223 at 5-7 and made it ok last year.

I understand club blood is not something for kids that's way i think during the season use it for a fun house maze.No scareactor.just automated.Like the old walk through haunted houses.Just a thought.

As i rode Drop Tower saturday i had two thoughts. 1. the sob should be running. 2.I had a idea for the club blood building. Would it be neat if the park opened a walk through haunted maze all season long?use club blood.just change the props.Just a idea.
